薛之谦英文介绍
Over the past few months, Xue Zhiqian has amused audiences by *cracking jokes on variety shows and posting dry humor on Sina Weibo. The 33-year-old singer has made a strong comeback as a comedian. But he insists that his only dream is to sing.
在曩昔的几个月里，薛之谦凭仗在综艺节目中的诙谐体现和微博上的冷笑话而遭到群众喜欢和追捧。这位33岁的歌手以一个段子手的身份强势回归。但他坚称，自己仅有的愿望便是歌唱。

Xue makes no bones about his *aspiration to be popular. He believes that only in this way can he make more people listen to his songs. Whenever he talks about music, Xue’s cheeky *grin disappears, and his tone turns *solemn. “No matter what, music has always been in the top-drawer of my life,” Xue declared on the talk show Go Fridge! (《拜托了冰箱》).
薛之谦从不讳言他想成名的巴望。他信任只需红起来，才会有更多的人听他的歌。但是，常常谈起音乐，薛之谦嬉皮笑脸的姿态就会消失，口气也变得严厉起来。他曾在脱口秀节目《拜托了冰箱》中表明，“无论如何，音乐都是我生命中最重要的东西。”

Xue claims that he creates music purely out of love, not for money. Last year, he released an EP called Gentleman (《绅士》), featuring three songs he wrote. According to Sohu Entertainment, Xue spent 19 months on the three singles. For the title track alone, he tried five different versions, *tweaking the sound mixing. But during an interview with CCTV, Xue told his fans they didn’t need to purchase the album: He would be satisfied so long as some of them listened to the songs online.
薛之谦称他做音乐是出于对它的酷爱，而不是为了钱。上一年，他发行了一张名为《绅士》的迷你专辑，其间共收录了三首他创造的歌曲。据搜狐文娱报导，薛之谦花了19个月来创造这三首歌。单单是专辑同名的主打歌，他就尝试了五种不同的混音版别。但是，在一次中央电视台的采访中，他奔驰粉丝们不需要去买这张专辑；只需有粉丝能在网上听他的歌，他就感到非常满意了。

On July 17, Xue is going to hold a free concert in Beijing. Being back on stage is likely a dream come true for Xue, but it has been a long time since he has had to prove his chops as a singer. Xue first experienced fame in 2005 when he participated in Dragon TV’s singing competition My Show (《我型我秀》). But just like many reality TV stars, Xue then gradually disappeared from the public eye. Over the next decade, he wrote and released dozens of songs. Only one, his debut single Snow With All My Heart (《仔细的雪》), made a splash.
7月17日，薛之谦将在北京举行一场免费演唱会。对他来说，再度站在台上歌唱就像美梦成真相同。但是要证明自己是位合格的歌手，他花费了很长时刻。2005年，薛之谦因参与东方卫视歌唱竞赛《我型我秀》一鸣惊人。但就像很多选秀歌手相同，在那之后，薛之谦逐步淡出大众视野。在接下来的十年里，他创造并发行了不少首歌，但只需他的首只单曲《仔细的雪》曾是抢手金曲。

In recent years, some washed-up singers have returned to sing on programs such as I Am a Singer (《我是歌手》), including Li Jian, Huang Qishan and Julia Pang (彭佳慧). Their *sophisticated singing skills have allowed them to endure.
近几年，《我是歌手》等（音乐）节目为李健、黄绮珊、彭佳慧等一些过气歌手供给了演唱的舞台。他们老到的歌唱技巧让他们得以继续走红。

Xue, meanwhile, has built up a large fanbase. But his popularity is largely a credit to his *self-deprecating humor. As he prepares to return to the stage, audiences may find themselves wondering: Will his singing abilities live up to his skills as a *wisecracker?
同样地，薛之谦也具有了一个巨大的粉丝群。但是，他受欢迎很大程度上却是源于他的自黑诙谐。现在，就在他行将重返舞台之时，观众们或许也会发生置疑：他的歌唱才调是否能和他超强的诙谐感混为一谈呢？
